Abstract: The needle loom for needling a nonwoven web comprises a needle beam arrangement, which comprises at least one needle beam, and a drive device for moving the needle beam arrangement back and forth in a punching direction. The drive device comprises a drive and two main shafts, on each of which a main conrod is eccentrically supported. The main conrods connect the main shafts to the needle beam arrangement in articulated fashion. The main shafts are driven rotationally in opposite directions. The drive device comprises an endless traveling transmission element, which couples the main shafts to each other. The transmission element also passes around first and second adjusting rollers. An adjusting device is provided for a translational adjustment of the position of the first and second adjusting rollers. This translational adjustment brings about a rotational adjustment of the phasing of the main shafts with respect to each other.

Abstract: A multi-purpose working device comprises a rear frame, a front frame, a central part connecting the rear frame to the front frame, and a tool-maintaining device connected to the central part by an adjusting system, such that said tool-maintaining device can pivot in an essentially perpendicular manner in relation to the longitudinal axis and essentially parallel to the base counter to the central part. The central part comprises at least one stationary part and another part which can be displaced counter thereto, such that the displaceable part can be displaced, essentially, in the longitudinal direction in relation to the stationary part. The front frame comprises a front wheel which can rotate about an angle range of at least 120 degrees, preferably at least 180 degrees, a hydraulic control which acts upon the front wheel for directional control, and a hydraulic drive which is used to drive the front wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft preheater for preheating material in lump form with at least one shaft for receiving the material, a bridge disposed in the shaft for delivering hot gases which flow through the material from the bottom upwards, and a device for filling the shaft with the material such that the shaft is charged centrally thereby developing a filling cone. The bridge is disposed at an inclination corresponding to the filling cone in order to guarantee an even flow through the fill. The device for filling the shaft comprises a vertically adjustable feed chute.

Abstract: A shaft preheater to achieve an improved adaptation of layer height to particle size spectrum of material to be preheated. The shaft preheater includes a plurality of shafts for receiving lumpy material, an arrangement for filling the individual shafts with the lumpy material to be preheated and means for limiting the layer height in the shafts. The means for limiting the layer height include a needle valve and have an arrangement for coarse adjustment and an arrangement for fine adjustments.

Abstract: A hanging element is manufactured to be a deformed shock proof synthetic-substance sheet manufactured by a vacuum-forming process; is formed as an essentially flat element with areas (28, 29) to print information on it; contains horizontally placed strengthening elements (6, 15 to 18); and shows close to its upper edge (3) and in the center of its upper edge a gap (8) which is connected with the upper edge by a cut (7). The measurements have been designed in such a way that a rail (9) can be arranged in it and in which the width of the cut (7) is less than the width of the rail (8).

Abstract: Polymeric, water-soluble triazine compounds which contain both basic and acidic groups in the molecule have out-standing surfactant properties and are suitable for the preparation of dispersions of solids, preferably of dispersions of inorganic and/or organic pigments, in an aqueous or water-dilutable medium. Since these triazine compounds are colorless or only slightly colored, they do not influence the shade of the medium used.

Abstract: A cracking furnace has a radiant heating zone provided with fuel-fired burners and through which a preheated feedstock is passed, combustion gases from the radiant heating zone passing into a convection zone before being discharged from said furnace. The convection zone is provided with heat-exchanger means for preheating said feedstock. The heat-exchanger means in the convection zone is subdivided into a plurality of functionally separated heat-exchanger bundles and the feedstock is passed selectively through the bundles in accordance with the composition of the feedstock.
